Higher Level Teaching Assistant | Mrs Burt
"Together we will...turn ideas into art and creativity into confidence.
Bio
Having once been a pupil at Ford Primary School and with both of my daughters also attending, Ford truly feels like home. I’ve had the privilege of working here for 34 years, supporting children across every year group, with most of my time spent in Year 6.
My passion lies in working closely with small focus groups, helping children make rapid progress and feel confident as they prepare for Key Stage 2 assessments. I’m especially creative and love bringing learning to life through Art. I take great pride in displaying children’s work around the school — celebrating their success and helping them see just how far they’ve come.

Why Ford?
Ford has always felt like home — I was a pupil here, my daughters attended, and I’ve worked here for over 30 years. It’s a place where creativity, support, and a true sense of community shine.
What am I reading?
I enjoy reading a mix of genres on my Kindle — from thrillers to uplifting fiction. It’s the perfect way to relax and switch off, especially when I’m on holiday.
What am I researching?
I enjoy deepening my knowledge in the subjects I teach, particularly Art and RE. I love finding new ideas, techniques, and stories to bring lessons to life and inspire the children I work with.
